Vocational education and training (VET)/Professional education and training (PET)

What Swiss qualifications do you compare my foreign qualification with?
SERI compares foreign qualifications with Swiss ones relating to occupations mentioned in the List of VET Occupations or in the List of PET Professions.

Can I obtain exemption from having to take general subjects at a VET school?
It is up to the VET school to decide whether exemptions can be granted for individual subjects taught in the school-based segment. If exemption has an impact on qualification procedures, then it will be up to the cantonal authorities to decide.
